Summary of Transcript:
Aging can be regarded as a disease, as it meets the definition of a condition that reduces function and eventually causes death. For the last 200 years, aging has been neglected as a medical condition, leading to many problems in healthcare systems and people’s lives. The World Health Organization now recognizes old age as a disease, and doctors are encouraged to report how many citizens have old age. Metformin is a relatively safe drug that can delay type 2 diabetes if prescribed earlier. It has been shown to reduce the chance of getting age-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, frailty, and Alzheimer’s. Taking Metformin has some possible side effects, but for most people, the most they will experience is an upset stomach. Recent studies have shown that elderly patients that exercised, whether they took Metformin or not, all gained muscle mass and strength, with those taking Metformin having slightly smaller muscles but just as much strength.
